It´s not a button, you pull it out to slam on the anchors. Forcing it back in is much more difficult but it can be done.....

Type Cobol in Jobserve and see what happens. I remember reading somewhere that is more written in Cobol than in any other language.
A lot of new stuff is written in Java or whatever and then they write it again in .Net, and then again etc etc, and then eventually they give up and buy an upgraded IBM machine, and run it on there instead.I'm alright JackComment

I flatted with an Irish girl ten years or more ago, she was studying Cobol while I was doing VB ("It's the future...").
How I laughed at her then, studying a dying language. How she's probably laughing now.Comment
